FastaFinder is a tool for quickly finding the FASTA sequence given only an accession number. Dedicated server to come!
Clone the repository and use a python3 virtualenv to install python requirements.
>>> git clone https://github.com/liamhawkins/FastaFinder.git
>>> cd FastaFinder
>>> virtualenv venv -p $(which python3)
>>> source venv/bin/activate
>>> pip install -r requirements.txtLaunch the Django web server
>>> python manage.py runserverThen point your browser to the web server
http://127.0.0.1:8000/
You can directly query an accession by appending it to the url
http://127.0.0.1:8000/P04797
Which returns the Uniprot Human GAPDH Fasta sequence! Cool!
Currently the following accessions are supported:
| Source | Example |
|---|---|
| Uniprot | P04797 |
| NCBI Refseq | NP_001243728.1 |
| MirBase ID | MI0000060 |
| MicroRNA name | hsa-let-7a-1 |
Tests can be run using the Django test runner
>>> python manage.py test
